Summer has arrived at Fallin!

Paul Gunn (TCV Natural Communities trainee) and Anthony Morrow (TCV Natural Communities Co-ordinator) went along to the event at Fallin Mining museum organised by Polmaise Community Council on Saturday the 1st of June. We would like to say thank you to Ros Griffith for organising the event. The event was a great success as not only was the sun shining but we spoke to different members of the community council and have begun to collect stories about the Bing from the people who know it so well.

Paul is busy organising a timeline of the history of coal mining at Fallin that will be put up in the library shortly. Visitors to the library can put up suggestions of positive changes they would like to see on the Bing and also share their stories.  We aim to get this up before the third visit to Fallin through the All Our Stories project on Monday the 24^th of June.

The third visit to fallin on Monday the 24th of June will involve removing birch scrub that is encroaching onto the Bing and we aim to collect more stories from people who have been helping us with the habitat creation work on the Bing and from people from the local area. If interested in coming along to the event please contact Suzanne Bairner on suzanne.bairner@buglife.org.ukand 01786 447504.
